Come and hear Dr Aleisha Ward, the 2017 Douglas Lilburn Research Fellow, explore facets of ‘jazz’ in New Zealand’s Jazz Age. Contrary to popular belief, 1920s New Zealand was not a quiet, staid society that ‘closed at 5’. Hear about, a flourishing, vibrant, urban landscape and a burgeoning jazz scene.
New Zealand's 1920s burgeoning jazz scene
The 1920s were a period of musical and cultural turmoil around the world. In cultural histories of New Zealand, much of this is absent. In fact, reading many of these histories you might wonder if New Zealand even had jazz, let alone a Jazz Age.
Dr Ward will explore facets of ‘jazz’ in the Jazz Age, including how:
jazz as both music and dance, were imported and propagated in New Zealand
jazz was conceived of extra-musically, and
the extra-musical concepts of jazz affected New Zealand society in the inter-war period.
About the speaker
Dr Aleisha Ward is the 2017 Douglas Lilburn Research Fellow and a recipient of the 2018 Ministry of Culture and Heritage New Zealand History Research Trust award investigating the Jazz Age in New Zealand.
Aleisha is an award-winning writer, freelance editor, and lecturer in music history. She writes about jazz in New Zealand for a number of publications including audioculture.co.nz, New Zealand Musician and on her own blog NZ Jazz.

Take some time to come and see The Topp Twins exhibition in the main gallery of the National Library, Thorndon.
The Topp Twins — playful, powerful and political
Synonymous with small town, rural New Zealand and that Kiwi “can-do attitude”, Lynda and Jools Topp are among New Zealand’s best-loved entertainers. They’ve been cultural touchstones for more than 40 years, their playful, powerful and political creative work continuing to resonate with a broad audience across generational and political divides.
Whether it’s as Camp Mother and Camp Leader, the Gingham Sisters, Westie girls Raylene and Brenda, posh socialites Prue and Dilly or the Kiwi bloke and townie combo of Ken and Ken, the Topp Twins continue to champion the communities and causes near and dear to us.
Celebration of things that unite us
This exhibition is a celebration of the things that have shaped us as a nation, and the spirit and values of the things that unite us rather than divide us.
Key themes explored in the exhibition include:
•family background
•creating the Topp Twins characters
•the Topp Twins contribution as popular musicians and entertainers
•political activism
•freedom and inclusion
•LGBTQI empowerment and achievements.
What you can see and do
The exhibition offers archival footage, writing, objects and documents from their comprehensive archive to illustrate and embody a lifetime of creative work. Introductions to each segment are bi-lingual.
Audiences can engage and participate in a variety of hands-on interactive activities. These activities highlight the creative political activism used by the Topp Twins, and offer audiences the opportunity to express their own thoughts and opinions.
Exhibition developed by an award-winning team
Developed in heartland New Zealand by the award-winning team at Te Manawa Museum in Palmerston North, The Topp Twins exhibition offers an exciting opportunity to celebrate the outstanding contribution these inspiring women make to our nation’s social, cultural and political landscape.

Celebrate New Zealand Music Month and Suffrage 125
Join us to celebrate New Zealand Music Month and Suffrage 125 with the singing stars of the 1970s and 1980s women's movement.
Protest songs of the 1970s and 1980s
Expect a roller-coaster ride with the Feisty Feckin' Fulltime Feminists through the politics of equal pay, discrimination, harassment and reproductive rights, with lashings of fighting spirit.
Singing stars of the 1970s and 1980s women's movement take the stage again with some new additions — reviving some of the songs they sang to keep spirits up on the picket line or at strategising sessions.
Some of the lyrics were made up more or less on the spot to a borrowed tune, to mark a particular occasion; other songs came from feminists in Auckland, Australia or beyond.
Audience advisory: frequent use of strong language.
About the singers
The group will explain the background and in some cases put the words up for audience participation.
Feisty Feckin' Fulltime Feminists performers for the 10 May performance are: Therese O'Connell, Wendy Davis, Claire-Louise McCurdy, Sue Hirst, Emma Kelly, Marie Russell and Anne Russell.
We have three packs of brushwood screen fencing surplus to our requirements. Each pack is 3m x 1m. $50 the lot.

I really hope there is some one who will give myself, my best friend and my house trained human a chance in their one bedroom flat.
Thanks karma
We’re embarking on our first family ski season and on the look out for skis, boots and poles for our 6 and 8 year olds. Also looking for extra gloves.
If you’ve got some old gear under the house that’s not getting used anymore, we’ll be happy to buy it from you.
Cheers
